Achieving gender equality in the Euro-Mediterranean region is a collective effort 💪🏼 Gender equality is not only about equal pay and opportunities. It’s about co-building a future fit for all of us, where no one is left behind. This is what we aimed for when 120 dedicated individuals gathered in Nicosia, Cyprus for our High-Level #Women4Mediterranean Conference, co-organised with the Office of the Commissioner for Gender Equality of Cyprus. 💡 Key highlights: 🔛 From policy to action: Guided by the 5th UfM Ministerial Declaration on Strengthening the Role of Women in Society (https://lnkd.in/dn7eHniK), we worked to operationalise the declaration’s 2024-2025 Roadmap for Implementation through several roundtables focused on Women Economic Empowerment, Gender Equality and Climate Change, Violence Against Women and Girls. 🔬 Feed actionable policies with research: We were proud to have the European Institute of the Mediterranean present the 1st report resulting from our joint MedWE programme. Each year, we'll publish policy studies to bridge research with public policies to promote women's empowerment in the #Mediterranean. You can read the report here: https://lnkd.in/dcqctDQv 💬 Learning from each other: We heard from regional & national programmes for women's financial & digital inclusion in the region - such as the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi) -  and analysed national good practices from Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Spain, and Tunisia to improve our approaches towards Violence against women & girls. 🤝🏼 Changing the narrative: we gathered journalists and media representatives from the Euro-Med region to analyse challenges and opportunities for more inclusive narratives, with a special focus on gender, disability and migration. Changing media narratives is vital to challenge stereotypes, and influence social norms. 🙏 Our heartfelt thanks to all speakers, collaborators, and attendees for their invaluable contributions. Together, we are making strides toward a more equitable future for all. 🔗 You can watch the recordings of the conference here: https://lnkd.in/dkxV35AE

Dear community,I am addressing you today to discuss a crucial topic that concerns us all: investing in women and the need to accelerate progress towards gender equality. Women are an essential part of our society, yet they continue to face numerous obstacles and inequalities. It is time to take decisive action to support and empower women in all aspects of their lives.By investing in women, we are investing in the future of our society. Women have a key role to play in building a more equitable, inclusive, and prosperous world for all. Their contributions should not be underestimated or hindered by unjust barriers. It is imperative that we accelerate progress towards gender equality. This requires a firm commitment from each of us, as well as concrete actions from governments, businesses, and society as a whole. We must implement policies and programs that promote the empowerment of women, their access to education, health, employment, and positions of leadership.By working together and investing in women, we can create a better future for all. A future where women are fully recognized, respected, and valued for their contributions to society.I urge you to join me in this collective effort to accelerate progress towards gender equality. Together, we can make a real difference and build a more just and equitable world for future generations. Thank you for your attention and commitment to this essential cause.

♀️The world has often misrepresented women as a minority!! Contrary to this, for example in my country, Kenya, women constitute 51% of the total population. Eliminating gender segregation is imperative through all possible means. At a recent pre-International Women's Day conference hosted by Echo Network Africa Africa, Dr. Jenifer Riria, the founder, emphasized accelerating gender equality achievements. Strengthening institutions supporting women's inclusion, especially in financial matters, aligns with this year's theme, "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress." Understanding the root cause of gender equality challenges was a central focus at the event. A speaker questioned whether celebrating International Women's Day might seem like a mockery due to perceived stagnation. This raises the question: Why is International Women's Day important? 1. IWD symbolizes hope, serving as a focal point during challenging times in achieving gender equality. 2. It revitalizes our aspirations to thrive in all capacities. 3. IWD is not a beginning or an end but a renewal to recharge our energies. 4. It's a day for reflection and strategic planning. 5. IWD is a day for rest. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's invest in women, propelling progress toward a future where equality prevails, dreams flourish, and energies rejuvenate, fostering a world of true empowerment. #InvestInWomen #SafeguardingGains #EchoNetworkAfrica

Gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world. Achieving SDG 5 is crucial to unlocking the full potential of half the world’s population. In 2023, the ECLT Foundation made significant strides towards gender equality through several impactful initiatives: Empowerment through Financial Inclusion: In Malawi and Mozambique, we empowered 4,796 women by helping them join savings and loan groups. These groups provide vital financial resources and support, enabling women to start businesses, invest in their families, and uplift their communities. Increasing Household Incomes: In Tanzania, 979 women received training and participated in savings groups, which led to a notable increase in their household incomes. This financial growth translates into better living conditions, improved health, and enhanced educational opportunities for their children. These initiatives are not just about numbers; they represent real, transformative changes in the lives of thousands of women. By providing access to financial resources and training, we are helping to create a more equitable world where women can thrive and contribute to the development of their communities. At the ECLT Foundation, we believe that gender equality is the key to sustainable development. We are committed to continuing our efforts to empower women and promote equality.

Women´s rights and gender equality are fundamental prerequisites for democracy and they are essential for promoting peaceful and inclusive societies that foster sustainable development. Through our projects, we work to diminish power inequalities between persons of different genders in decision-making, policies, and service-delivery at the local level. This is done by: ◾ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬.   In Lebanon, the Reslog project engaged 23 young women from Akkar in a 6-month capacity-buildingprogram to empower them as youth leaders in their communities and municipal sphere. They gained knowledge in municipal work, active citizenship, and elections. ◾ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. With three women working as process managers at the helm of implementation in Iraq, our project LOGDEVI is motivating change and championing the notion that equal opportunities are imperative, and empowering women leads to stronger, more resilient societies. ◾ 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. In Ukraine we have provided support to municipalities in the establishment and modernisation of service centres, ensuring that they are accessible and inclusive for all genders.  ◾ 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬. Together with AMCs ni Bosnia and Herzegovina we have facilitated the establishing of an informal gender network, bringing together municipal experts in a process of capacity development, peer learning and exchange, data gathering and policy recommendation development.  ◾ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. In Serbia, SALAR International has capacitated gender mainstreaming in local operations such as waste management, disaster risk reduction, urban mobility and entrepreneurship.  ◾ 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐡 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, research and analyses of the gender gaps at the local level helps to identify entry points where external interventions can lead to improvement for individuals. By addressing the identified gender equality challenges in the delivery of municipal  services, particularly women and girls are helped to confront injustices connected to a lack of influence and financial independence.

Through advocacy, education, and economic empowerment, we're not just addressing the symptoms of gender disparity; we're tackling its root causes.    Our initiatives, such as the USAID BHA-funded SPIR II program in Ethiopia, are a testament to what is possible when we prioritize gender equality and social inclusion in multi-sectorial programs that build sustainable and resilient economies.
